"Kadar, go get the coach!" Ezio called, kneeling next to his friend. "Connor's hurt!"
While chasing the soccer ball, Connor managed to twist his ankle and fall down.
"Ow!" Connor cried when he tried to get up.
"What happened?" the coach asked, kneeling next to Connor.
"I twisted my ankle," said Connor, wincing.
Connor let out yelp of pain when the coach gently moved his ankle to the left. He frowned.
"I think you sprained your ankle," said the coach, standing up. "Ezio, Kadar, help Connor up while I call his parents."
While Ezio and Kadar helped their friend, Connor called out to the coach.
"It's ok Coach," said Connor, hobbling over to the adult with the help of his friends. "Just let me rest for a bit. I can still play."
He frowned when the coach shook his head.
"That ankle needs to be looked at," said the coach. "Go sit down and rest for a bit."
He sighed but nodded.
"I'll call my mom," he told him.
Connor got over to the bench and then pulled out his phone. He dialed the number for the bookstore that his mother worked at.
"Leonardo's Bookstore," a man with an italian accent answered.
"Hey Leo," said Connor, shifting his leg with a wince. "Can I talk to mom real quick?"
"Sure," said Leonardo.
Then, Connor heard a shifting noise and then a 'Ziio, it's Connor.'
"Hey Ratonhnhaké:ton," said Ziio, sounding happy. "What's going on?"
"Umm...I got hurt at practice today," said Connor, wincing a little in pain.
He heard a gasp.
"Oh baby, what happened?" she asked, concern in her voice.
"I fell and twisted my ankle," Connor answered. "Coach thinks its sprained."
Connor heard a sigh.
"Ok baby, just wait there," said Ziio. "Call your father after we hang up ok?"
"Yes mom," said Connor, rolling his eyes.
"Don't roll your eyes," warned Ziio.
Connie's eyes widened.
"I'll see you in a bit," said Ziio.
Connor hung up the phone and turned to his friends.
"How the hell does she know when I'm rolling my eyes on the phone?" he asked in disbelief.
Ezio, Kadar and his other friend, Desmond, just shrugged.
"I don't know," said Desmond. "All mothers seem to know stuff like that."
"Fathers too," said Ezio with a nod.
"And not to mention older siblings," added Kadar.
Connor sighed and shook his head.
